Benefits

The optimum design of these high quality materials fulfills all the demands made on enclosures. This includes:

  • Total insulation

  • Corrosion resistance

  • Mechanical strength

  • Simple finish

  • Temperature resistance

  • No maintenance

  • Flame retardant, self-extinguishing

  • Halogen-free (thus preventing consequential damage resulting from external fire), excludes cable space cover

  • Lightweight components.


Total insulation

All enclosure parts and operating mechanisms are designed so that, if closed during operation, they fulfill the requirements of the protective measure "Total Insulation" according to DIN VDE 0100 Part 410. All enclosure fixings are on the outside.
